Tuning (this tab): Drop D
For the chords, I like to use the open chord and strum the A,D, and G
strings. Occasionally, Andy will strum the lower bass notes or hit the higher
strings, but for the most part, he plays the chords on the "middle" strings.
Drop D:

[D]My love has [G]gone away
[D]Packed up her bags and then [A]boarded that plane
[D]And I guess that the time I [G]figured you?d wait
Teary [A]face, leaky [G]breath, a bitter [D]taste
[D]Tripped out for [G]600 years
[D]Who would have thought I?d [A]make it last year?
[D]In a way it makes sense that I [G]died and reappeared
As that [A]fly you?ve been [G]swatting for [D]years

[D]Calm down and [G]make him a drink
[D]Pretty small town and the [A]gossip repeats
She [G]took off her clothes and [A]sat on the bed next to m[D]e
[D]My heart is [G]pumping my blood,
[D]your hearts not [A]beating at all
In a [G]way it makes sense that it [A]isn?t, it just never w[D]as
[D]Right now, a [G]sinful exchange
[D]Once done, uns[A]peakable shame
And [D]I should?ve known where [G]I took the blame
The [A]sweat and the [G]shame fireless fl[D]ame
[A]Please god don?t [G]take him too
[D]Take me, a [A]replicant fool
Lost a [G]gear and now [A]I hardly m[D]ove
He?s a [A]kid, I?m a f[D]ool
[D]Please son, [G]where is your faith?
[D]Take off your bushels set [A]fire to your pain
You will [G]heal like a cut, let it [A]scar let it scab, let it [D]stain
In a [G]while I [A]promise you?ll s[D]ee
You?re [G]alive, not the blemish or [A]burns that you keep on your [D]feet[A]
[D]I am a towel that is [G]soaked to the core,
[D]heavier now than it?s [A]gotten before
And [D]something inside of me [G]needs more and more,
sooner tha[A]n later n[G]ever no m[D]ore
Sooner tha[A]n later, [G]never no [D]more
